About Knighton Family Vineyards
Knighton Family Vineyards is a Napa Valley wine producer, established in 2007. Despite its Calistoga mailing address, Knighton Family Vineyards sits on Mt. St. Helena's northern slopes near the Lake County line, nowhere close to Howell Mountain. Jim Knighton replanted long-abandoned vine blocks starting in 2004; the winery released its first 50-case vintage in 2007.
The 50-acre property sits on Mt. St. Helena's northern slopes near the Lake County line, not within the Howell Mountain AVA. Just 3.9 of 50 acres are planted, on steep terraces with rows only 20 feet apart; annual output is about 300 cases.
We have not found a published schedule for routine public tasting at Knighton Family Vineyards. The wines are sold direct or through the trade, and any visit would be by arrangement, so contact the producer before planning one.

Knighton does not publish retail pricing online; wines are sold mainly through the mailing list and a tiered wine club, and the critic scores above are as reported by the winery rather than independently verified here.
